AA few years ago, I took a sightseeing trip to Washington D.C. I saw many of our nation’s treasures, and I also saw a lot of unfortunate people like beggars and homeless folks in the streets.Standing outside the Ronald Reagan Center, I heard a voice say, “Can you help me?” When I turned around, I saw an elderly blind woman with her hand extended(伸出). In a natural reaction, I reached into my pocket, pulled out all of my loose change and placed it in her hand. I didn’t even look at her. I was annoyed at being bothered by a beggar.But the blind woman smiled and said, “I don’t want your money. I just need help finding the post office.”Immediately, I realized what I had done. I acted with prejudice(偏见)—I judged another personsimply for what I thought she was.The thing I had forgotten about myself is that I am an immigrant. I left Honduras and arrived in America at the age of 15. Through the years, I have been a dishwasher, cashier, mechanic and pizza delivery driver among many other jobs, and finally I became a network engineer.In my own life, I have experienced many open acts of prejudice. I remembe r a time, at age 17—I was a busboy, and I heard a father tell his little boy that if he did not do well at school, he would end up like me.But now, living in my American middle-class lifestyle, it is too easy to forget my past, to forget who I am and where I have been, and to lose sight of where I want to be going. That blind woman on the street of Washington D.C. cured me of my blindness. She reminded me to always keep my eyes and heart open.21. When the author came to America at first ______.A. he usually did some work with a little payment.B. he used to beg for some money on the street.C. he lived a comfortable life as a network engineer.D. he was respected by others all the time.22.According to the passage, what did the author regret?A. That he gave all his change to the blind woman.B. The way he treated the blind woman.C. That he came to WashingtonD.C. for a visit.D. That he didn’t tell the woman the way to the post office.23.The father mentioned in the passage wanted ______.A. to encourage his son to make a living by himselfB. his son to become a busboy in the futureC. his son to work harder at schoolD. to remind his son to depend on himself at school24. We can infer all of the following statements from the passage EXCEPT ______.A. He disliked being bothered by beggars.B. He was delighted to give away his money to beggars.C. He once suffered a lot.D. The blind woman didn’t beg for money at that time.25. What does the author want to tell us through this story?A. Don’t dream up ways to get what you want.B. Money is the root of all evils.C. An easy life makes a person forgetful.D.Be good to others all the time.BEnglish is the most widely used language in the history of our planet. One in every seven human beings can speak it. More than half of the world’s books and three quarters of international mails are in English. Of all languages, English has the largest vocabulary — perhaps as many as two million words.However, let’s face it: English is a crazy language. There is no egg in an eggplant, neither pine nor apple in a pineapple and no ham in a hamburger. Sweet-meats are candy, while sweetbreads, which aren’t sweet, are meat.We take English for granted. But when we explore its paradoxes (探讨它的矛盾), we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, public bathrooms have no baths in them.And why is it that a writer writes, but fingers don’t fing, grocers don’t groce, and hammers don’t ham? If the plural (复数) of tooth is teeth, shouldn’t the plural of booth be beeth? One goose, two geese — so one moose, two meese?How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites（相反）? How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike? How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next?English was invented by people, not computers, and it shows the creativity of human beings. That’s why, when stars are out, they are visible (能看见的); but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it; but when I wind up this essay, I end it.26. According to the passage ______.A. sweet-meats and sweetbreads are different thingsB. there should be egg in an eggplantC. pineapples are the apples on the pine treeD. boxing rings should be round27. Which of the following is the correct plural?A. Beeth.B. Geese.C. Meese.D. Tooth.28. Which of the following includes two items which have the similar meaning?A. A wise man and a wise guy.B. Overlook and oversee.C. Quite a lot and quite a few.D. Hot as hell and cold as hell.29. The underlined words “wind up” in the last paragraph probably mean “______”.A. blowB. roll upC. get hurtD. finish30. Through the many paradoxes in the English language, the writer wants to show that human beings are ______.A. cleverB. crazyC. lazyD. dull第三部分完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和 D）中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
